Jade Roper & Tanner Tolbert Are Expecting Baby No. 3
Tolbert, party of five!
Jade Roper announced Monday morning that she and her husband Tanner Tolbert are expecting their third child together. She shared the happy news on social media with a family photo showing Jade kneeling, their daughter Emmy sitting in front of her smiling, their son Brooks sitting on Tanner's back, and Tanner face-down on the floor holding a pregnancy test and ultrasound.
She captioned it, "HERE WE GROW AGAIN!!! It feels so good to be able to finally talk about this pregnancy! If you noticed I haven’t been on social media much the past couple of months, it’s because I was dealing with terrible nausea and fatigue, on top of taking care of two kiddos during a pandemic."
Her caption continued, "Although this time has its uncertainties, we are so thankful and excited for this baby. I truly believe babies being born during this time are here for a special reason, to be light workers. We are beyond happy to love another baby, to give Emmy and Brooks another sibling and to have our children be so close! #partyof5 #babynumber3."

Jade and Tanner's Bachelor Nation friends sent their congratulations and left a flurry of heartfelt and funny comments. Tanner himself commented, "Our basketball team is almost complete."
Chris Harrison added, "God bless you guys, congratulations."
Arie Luyendyk Jr. replied, "Quarantine baby! 👏🏼 Congrats you guys ❤️"
The "Bachelor in Paradise" couple welcomed their son Brooks just under a year ago when Jade "accidentally gave birth" in their master bedroom closet.
Jade wrote on July 30, 2019, "long story short, my waters broke and 75 minutes later I gave birth to our healthy baby boy while clutching a bench in our closet. It was one of the scariest moments of my life because I felt so out of control, but Tanner, Tanner’s mom, my mom and the medics and firefighters kept me going when I felt like the world was caving in on me and my unborn baby."
In a "Mommies Tell All" podcast episode with her co-host Carly Waddell, Jade deemed the birth "one of the craziest experiences of my life."
Congratulations, Jade, Tanner, Emmy and Brooks!
